    Beef kabob meat was almost raw

    Chicken was ok but beef was barely cooked and over seasoned with pepper. Not one to go out of my way to give a bad review especially one that has mostly high reviews but also don't want someone getting sick so just be careful. Maybe I just went there on an off day.

    It was my first time trying Kabob house and it did not disappoint. The employee at the register answered my questions on what was most popular. Very friendly service. I believe the food is made to order, so it is very fresh! The meat and chicken, both seasoned to perfection. And I mean it just has a good amount seasoning and spices nothing that I've tried at other Mediterranean places. I will definitely be going back again! Have to support a local business! Absolutely amazing

    some desserts: namoora/namura, pistachio baklava, and sugar cookies

    my late uncle brought me here once and i remember especially enjoying the rice. haven't been here in years but decided to stop by. the flavors are still the same!! prices are steady and reflect those of even last year (which is rare these days). tender meat and good flavor, buttery and soft rice, and fresh vegetables in the salad. ordered #4 skewers kabob (3) and got one of each beef, lamb, and chicken. i enjoyed the lamb the most since it was the most tender and the seasonings fit that meat best. beef was a little tough for my liking but still had good flavor. chicken was chicken haha. the salad and hummus were sour but that's how i enjoy my things! salad seems to have the vinegar mix from the peppers. food flavor. could use some cheese but it works. good crunch from cucumbers and tomatoes. i only wish the bread was made in house. i got the mango lassi drink and it was just okay, wish it had more mango or yogurt flavor. i wanted to try salaam cola but didn't see it until i was on my way out (cans were turned away). it would also be nice to have drink prices posted somewhere. they have a cool selection like orangina (french), tazah, golden plate, and karoun. they even have a mint yogurt drink...interesting stuff. service was prompt and cashier was nice. it's pretty quiet and clean for the most part. some people will hate on the "outdated" look but i think it works. it is family-owned and they serve good food. their beautiful artwork and pictures/history is a plus! palestine and its people are beautiful...and its food is delicious!! overall, it was very filling and nice setting to eat in. will be back to try their desserts! they have so many to pick from.

    While in Riverside, we stopped at lunch at the kebab house and for a small fast food restaurant this was pretty darn good. The meat was very tender. The hummus was excellent and it comes with a garlic sauce of some sort that really has a kick to it. The people there were all smiles, very nice, our food was brought to our table, and it was very enjoyable

    I absolutely love this place. I used to eat it weekly when I worked in Riverside. I haven't been for a several months and was please that the food was still as delicious as before. The service is amazing. It's a family owned restaurant. The ambiance is casual. I definitely suggest you try this place out if you're looking for Mediterranean food. I wish I lived closer. And please don't just my photo. I always order the chicken kabob plate with all salad and literally mix it all together with a side of tabbouleh. It's fire!

    Leftovers the next day. Even more tangy! House Kabob Is full of flavor!

    It's a cute cozy dine In or even a side patio location set in the heart of Riverside. I have drove past this location so many times and glad I finally stopped in. I was greeted right away. Tables and seats clean. My order took a good 15mins but it's because everything was fresh and hot. I had the Chicken Kabob plate. The chicken was sooo good and had a nice tang to it. The rice, fluffy! The hummus was creamy! Tabbouleh , ugh, I loved it and it was especially good with the small pieces of pickle! The side salad made my moth water!!! And the pita delicious. The portion was so good for the price! I took half home and had it for lunch the next day and ugh, everything still go good! Needless to say, I'll be back!

    This is my go to spot whenever I'm in the area. The food is hands down the best and tastes homemade! The downside is that the restaurant looks a little run down, so make sure to manage expectations. For example, I would recommend taking your order to go (and avoid the restrooms, if you can). While the staff is busy, they always make time to greet you and answer any questions about their menu. We order the meat skewer plate that included hummus, salad and rice. Plus, a chicken shawarma wrap. The portions of the plate were so big, we had a second helping in the evening. We of course had to finish with two orders of baklava.

    Excellent Quality, Service and Taste. My parents have been going to Kabob House for years and love the Beef Kafta & Lamb Kabob Plates. My husband and I love the Chicken/Falafel Kabob plate and Chicken Shawarma Fries. I highly recommend the Falafel and Chicken Shawarma Fries. The fries have an amazing sauce that works so well. For 3 Plates and one order of fries, the total was $75 but well worth the price because we usually have leftovers. I would recommend this Authentic Mediterranean to anyone. Best in the Inland Empire.

    Best Arabic food ever! We've tried all middle Eastern foods in the area and I will pick this place hands down every time. The food is just great, the service is amazing and the ambiance is relaxing. It's not fast food so don't expect to get your order in 2 seconds. It's definitely worth the wait. The hummus is great, the shawarma is amazing and ofcourse the kabobs!

    Fire!! Little hole in the wall, nothing fancy. But the food is some of the best I've had

    I would eat this every day, lamb was so tasty!
    Patricia U.

    First time trying this place, very good customer service. Clean, small family owned restaurant. The menu looks amazing. We went with what we we've eaten elsewhere, kabob. The lamb kabob was not disappointing, 2 skewers packed with deliciousness, so flavorful. Basmati was freshly made answer so aromatic, love that it's such a light rice. Hubby had the chicken, very tender with alot of flavor. The hummus and salad was also fresh, very tasty. We will be back to try other items on the menu! Oh their baklava is homemade so good!!!!

    Solid lamb, rice is off the hook, and the humus was spectacular! I would give a five if the salad was better... all in all, I will be back!

    My boss has raved about this place on several occasions. When I saw we have a location right in…read moreVictoria Gardens, I decided I had to check this place out! I placed an order online for pickup and was given a pickup time. The place is very open, spacious and just has a neat vibe to it. I walked right up to the counter to give them my name for pick up and they said they were finishing it up. There were other people waiting for their orders as well. A couple minutes later, the gentleman behind the counter called out "Daniel" and the guy waiting next to me jumped right in and grabbed the bag and took off. I had wondered "I hope they didn't pronounce my name wrong and that was MY order." But didn't think much of it. Then the gentleman behind the counter asked me the name for my order. When I said "Danielle" he said "oh that was yours, the guy just left." He kind of looked at me like it was my problem to fix, so I took off after the guy and the employee followed me. Thankfully, the guy didn't get very far because he was verifying the order, so we made the exchange. Whew! I ordered the charbroiled chicken shish kabob with extra grilled veggies and a side Mediterranean salad as well as the hummus trio with sliced cucumbers instead of pita bread. The chicken kabob meal was delicious! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the option to add on more veggies was much appreciated! I was really excited about the hummus trio, but sadly I found it to be lacking flavor. With the 3 options of regular hummus, spicy red bell pepper and edamame, I was definitely expecting a flavor explosion, but it fell flat for me. I'd definitely come back to try more of their main dishes. Seems like a great little spot to dine in.

    $50 for less than a pound of meat? What.A.Rip.Off. We will not be returning. We've been customers…read moreof PKG for a number of years, and it was great (while it lasted). It started going downhill when they got rid of the PKG Rewards. We stopped going soon after that. For some reason, we decided to give a chance one more time a couple of days ago. Big mistake. We ordered to-go, and got the "Family Kabob Combo", 2 skewers. Since we're not big fans of their chicken, we subbed one of the chicken skewers for two Koobideh (with an upcharge of $6) and one Salmon skewer (with another upcharge of $5). The total was $45.97 + Tax ($3.56), grand total of $49.53. This would have been OK, if they gave you a reasonable amount of food for what you pay. Instead, we got a large container of rice, and two small containers of meat and vegetables. Unfortunately, as you can see from the photos, what you get meat-wise is basically extremely skimpy. The two Koobideh skewers weighed a total of 10 OZ. That's TWO of them together (see photo), not one, they weighed only 5 OZ each - barely more than a quarter pound hamburger. The Salmon "skewer" had a total of 5 pieces of salmon, each weighing only 0.8 OZ each, a total of 4 OZ! So what we got for the princely sum of $50 was 14 OZ of meat total - less than a pound, and a whole lot of rice, which costs them next to nothing. If you look at a lot of the older photos of the Koobideh skewers here on Yelp, you can see how much they have shrunk in just a few short years. My guesstimate is they're 50% smaller than they used to be, I know for sure since I bought them in the past that they used to be much larger. The price has increased 35% since we last ate here a couple of years ago, and you get 50% less food for that money, losing on both ends of the transaction. We feel cheated, to say the least. It's too bad, since we do like the taste of the food itself, it hasn't changed - what has changed is the value for what you pay. It isn't worth what they're charging for such a little bit of food (many other restaurants have gone the same way, sad to say). We won't be eating there ever again after this experience, it's impossible to enjoy a meal when you know you're being ripped off.
